## Notes

Symfony is a PHP full-stack web framework assembled from reusable components that can also be installed on their own. A project starts from the Symfony CLI or a Composer skeleton and uses Twig for templates. Database access comes through Doctrine, which the docs cover but which stays optional; it supports relational databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL as well as MongoDB. Ready-made features are added as bundles. A Docker setup is linked from the docs and maintained outside the framework repository. Symfony SAS, based in France, holds the trademark.

## Worth knowing

Standard releases get bug and security fixes for eight months, while LTS releases get bug fixes for three years and security fixes for four, so the version chosen sets the support window.
